best watches for running a marathon image
puppyfred
I run half marathons, and have used the Brooks MONSTER and the New Balance 767, but now they're totally dead. Any suggestions? I've also suffered from stress fractures and plantars fascitiis in the past year.
Answer
Go to a specialist running store, adn they will "fit" you in a pair of shoes (watch you run in several styles, brands etc).
Be sure to put your insoles in each of the shoes before trying them, as clearly that is how you intend to use them. (my insoles mean instead of buying using motion control shoes I am in a light stability shoe)

How soon is too soon to start training for the next marathon if you ran one two weeks ago?

I ran a marathon two weeks ago and want to start training for one this fall.
I caught a cold a week after running the marathon and am running for the first time today.
The marathon I would run is in October and it is late June now.
Answer
It would help to know if this was your first, and how long you've been running, etc.
Your immune system was probably suppressed following the marathon -- that's why you caught cold. So take it easy and watch your diet, etc.
It's normally advised to take one recovery day per mile raced -- so if you ran a marathon, that means for roughly the next month, you should treat your runs as recovery runs, not serious training. Your body is going to be rebuilding, and some light running that gets the circulation going can help, but you'll also be more injury prone and need to watch it.
But other than that, every one is different. Some people do great getting out immediately after a marathon, and others really truly need that month to rebuild. There's nothing wrong if you want to get out training 2 weeks after your event, but do keep an eye on things the next couple weeks before you start stepping it up again to "normal."
